Fancy effects we can use are as varried as the
number of greens in nature. A few examples are the 3-D Rotate, Edge detect, Emboss,
Gaussian blur, Jaggy despeckle, Mesh wrap, Motion blur, Glass block, Map
to sphere, Perspective, Pinch/ Punch, Ripple, Smoked Glass, Swirl, Tile,
Vignette, Wet paint, and Wind filters. Applied in combination, these
filters can produce some pretty amazing, memorable transformations on your
images.
For example, the "Map to sphere" filter creates the impression
that the image has been wrapped around a sphere or cylinder! The
"Pinch/Punch" filter makes the image look as if it
has been either pulled out or pushed in from the center.
